Blogger:<\/strong> Ben Watts Beer Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n Commercial Description:<\/strong> <\/p>\n Why I \u00a0selected the Avec Les Bons Voeux:<\/strong> It\u2019s incredibly light and dry, and it\u2019s effervescent with a gorgeous amber color. The citrus and pepper notes make this a great beer to pair with cheeses or spicy foods. But watch out, the 9.5% ABV can sneak up on you if you\u2019re not careful. I think it\u2019s also a great introduction for beer lovers who are on the fence about Belgians, or even for wine enthusiasts who think they don\u2019t like beer.<\/p>\n About the Stepping Razors Running:<\/strong> For more information, please visit: http:\/\/steppingrazorsrunning.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n About Brasserie Dupont:<\/strong> For more information, please visit: http:\/\/www.brasserie-dupont.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n @bmwatts #BrasserieDupont To celebrate the Holiday Season, 2Beerguys.com and Seacoastbeveragelab.com have teamed up with beer bloggers around the country to host the third annual beer bloggers advent calendar.

\n(Translated from French) This Bons V\u0153ux is coppery blond, has very fine hop aromas and tastes bitter, fruity and mild.
\nOur selection of yeasts, in combination with a longduring riping process, on a \u201cdry hopping\u201d base, are creating a typical and complex aroma and taste.
\nA real refermentation in the bottle, which will continue for a long time in your cellar, result in a harmonious and well-balanced beer, full of unexpected and complex aromas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent13\/brasserie-dupont-pour.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThough saisons aren\u2019t typically associated with holiday beer selections, this ale has been brewed since the 1970\u2019s as an end-of-the-year reward for Brasserie Dupont\u2019s best customers (the name translates to \u201cWith the best wishes of Brasserie Dupont\u201d). CAMRA describes it as \u201cthe best Belgian beer, if ever there could be such an award.\u201d I welcome it as a nice change amidst some of the heavier, comfort style winter beers.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent13\/stepping-razors.png\")
